Description

Description

The BIXOLON SLP-TX420 (SLP-TX420G/BEG) is a compact 4-inch thermal-transfer desktop label printer that prints at 203 dpi and up to 178 mm/s (7 ips). Designed around space-saving 74 m ribbons on a 0.5" core, it takes label rolls up to 130 mm on 1" or 1.5" cores, speaks ZPL II and EPL via BPL-Z™/BPL-E™ emulation and connects via USB, RS-232 serial and IEEE 1284 parallel. Power adapter and power cord are included – the USB cable is sold separately.
